Its in-house discrete op amp is combined with a mic input transformer with a low 1:2 ratio, for a smooth, warm and defined sound from the lowest bass to the very top end. The transformer handles very high input levels with very linear phase behaviour, and its low ratio makes the discrete op amp provide most of the amplification: a 'pedal to the floor' circuit for a unique, rich, full and characterful sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eGain range, 6 dB steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e12 - 72 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMax. output, 600 Ω balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e+24 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eDynamic range at 36 dB gain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e116 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eFrequency response (± 1 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e10 Hz - 35 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully discrete Twin OPA 1976\u003c\/strong\u003e in each channel, built in house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer-isolated mic inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1:2 ratio, 1.5 kΩ input impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain 12 - 72 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-position rotary switch in 6 dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e41-click fine gain trim\u003c\/strong\u003e, 0 - 6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eLow-cut input filter at 80 Hz or 120 Hz, 12 dB\/oct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal DI instrument input\u003c\/strong\u003e straight into the Twin OPA, output muted while switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eRamped 48 V phantom power, -20 dB pad and phase reverse per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eSignal \/ clip LED per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eElectronically floating balanced outputs, +24 dBu into 600 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eNoiseless linear power supply with toroidal transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eThe discrete OPA 1976\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eMost newer designs use an integrated circuit for this job.
